We stayed in the penthouse self-catering which is like an escape in a tree canopy with amazing views. Rebecca and Steve were very welcoming. Nice feature to have the private rear garden and the water almost vertical railway running to the side.

We had a lovely stay at The North Cliff. Soon as we stepped through the door it was warm, cosy and lovely homely feel. The owners were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Lovely and clean. Honesty bar with a great selection. Breakfast was was on point. Evening meals were nice home cooked meals. Awesome views. Be back again for sure.
